Dana and Mark are an amazing team and working with them was a pleasure. They are high energy, creative, and highly skilled. Moreover, they were thoughtful and fun to work with. I recommend them highly to anybody selling (as we were) or buying.
Mark, I enjoyed working with you very much! Your management of the process and candid style made it possible for me to do this transaction remotely from Seattle. I felt from the beginning that you were trustworthy and capable and the experience selling our property validated that sense of trust. Your advice regarding the market, the price we set, and the approach to prospective buyers was intuitive and accurate. Luckily, you also came with a full complement of local resources to prepare our property for sale and handle the various issues that arose. That and your comfort with 21st-century tech allowed us to deal with several late-breaking developments with the title company and the buyer, all by phone and internet. I’d happily recommend you to prospective clients in general and would not hesitate to make that same recommendation to friends coming to Carmel.
We worked with Dana Bambace on both our purchase and sale. She has it all—energy, focus, and above all else she puts her clients first. Dana looked at countless properties with us over the course of almost a year, with incredible energy and detail. Her motivation was to get us into the right house and she understood we were particular. She always gave us the full scoop on the pros/cons of each property. Dana was invaluable in negotiating a tricky escrow with a challenging seller during our purchase. When it came to our sales, she was stellar. Our decision to relocate back to the east coast was rather sudden, and Dana sourced an organizer to handle our entire move. She arranged fantastic staging, and the house was literally on the market for 4 days. Every step of the way, Dana gets the job done. She powers through escrows and challenges, assisted by her team, and by her network and knowle…

She powers through escrows and challenges, assisted by her team, and by her network and knowledge of the Monterey Peninsula. She is an absolute pro who keeps her eye on her clients’ goals. She is also a genuinely funny and thoughtful person who is a pleasure to spend time with. Highly recommended, Dana and the Peterson/Bambace team is a solid ally for real estate on the Monterey Peninsula!
Mark Peterson and his team were outstanding to work with! Mark sold my Big Sur property within the first 30-days and I was so impressed with his creative marketing ideas. His knowledge of the Big Sur real estate market gave me the confidence that there would be no one better to sell my place and he kept me informed each step of the way. I recommend Mark highly, he is a true professional.
Dana was fabulous. In every way. She is truly a consummate professional. It’s scary how much she gets done and how quickly. Responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, delightful. I could go on and on. We found the best possible agent in Carmel.
As my family charted the course to locate a new home conducive to our emerging needs, we were ready for a fresh perspective on real estate. Our past experiences with Realtors® in Pebble Beach were positive in many regards however not one person offered the complete profile we were looking for. I was looking for an experienced, energetic, determined, and creative professional while my wife was looking for someone that was trusting, authentic, sincere, and always willing to go to bat for us. When it came time to make a selection, one of our close friends had spoken very highly of Dana Bambace. We decided to reach out and shortly thereafter we were off to the races. Looking back, we were probably one of the more complex transactions given the constraints of trying to sell our home off the market while concurrently trying to buy a bank-owned home which had so many surprises.

As my family charted the course to locate a new home conducive to our emerging needs, we were ready for a fresh perspective on real estate.

I was looking for an experienced, energetic, determined, and creative professional while my wife was looking for someone that was trusting, authentic, sincere, and always willing to go to bat for us. When it came time to make a selection, one of our close friends had spoken very highly of Dana Bambace. We decided to reach out and shortly thereafter we were off to the races. Looking back, we were probably one of the more complex transactions given the constraints of trying to sell our home off the market while concurrently trying to buy a bank-owned home which had so many surprises. The challenges and complexities almost seemed to fuel her which was unexpected, yet welcomed by us. What really impressed us was that after the litany of inspections we set up, she suggested we get the sewer line checked, which was courageous given it had the chance to yield deal-breaking information. In closing, what sets Dana Bambace apart from other agents is her instinctive ability to know how far to push the boundaries of negotiation in the 11th hour and mitigate the emotional rollercoaster that sets in if the process is not carefully prepared. When we felt like we hit a roadblock, she always had an idea or exit strategy ready to share. It was very comforting and should the day come again to buy or sell a home for us, Dana will be getting the call.
We love working with people and we are honored to be trusted with important life and financial decisions. We understand that buying or selling a property is not just a transaction; it's a significant milestone in our clients' lives. That's why we prioritize building strong relationships and providing personalized experiences.
